I'm A House Gangster presents The Gangstercast

Trevor Vichas - Gangstercast 27

A mainstay of the Portland and Seattle scenes since the late
90's, Pacific Northwest native Trevor Vichas has entertained
audiences with his mesmerising blend of house, garage, and techno
meets jazz, disco, and hip hop; warm rolling basslines, hypnotic
chord progressions, and soulful vocals that speak with a message of
love. It’s a sound showcased here on his Gangstercast as
Trevor explains, “This mix represents me as an artist in how I move
though various house sounds creating a forward moving mix that
keeps you shaking that ass and guessing what I am going to play
next. The mix is on the deeper soulful of house that I
play.”

“The process for choosing the tracks to make my Gangstercast
took a few days. When I selected the tracks for this mix, the
thought in mind was to play timeless music. I started with a
pile of some of my new favorite tracks from the last couple of
years, some classic tunes that I love to play, and some of my
selected production work that I am personally in love with.
After that it took a couple of long sessions to weed out some
tracks and add some others in. I had about 80 tracks laid
out to play and what got mixed in the first two hours was my final
mix.”

Since completing his first tracks in 2008, Trevor’s productions
have appeared in the playlists of heavy-hitters such as Mark
Farina, DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, Iz & Diz, Phil Weeks, Hector
Morales and DJ Heather. Labels including Robsoul, Flatpack, Phobic
and countless others have all commissioned Trevor for original
music and remixes.

The names above will leave you in no doubt that Trevor Vishas is
a bonafide House Gangster! He comments, “The house gangster
movement to me is about being down for house 110% all day everyday.
I have seen a lot of people coming in and out of house music, and
then play whatever is a trending to get a gig. It really
boils down to being dedicated to house music for life, not giving
up and being true to house music! House music is very much a
spiritual thing to me. Whether I am listening, playing or
working in the studio on beats, there is a feeling that emanates
from me when house is involved. It has become a way of life to me
and I am able to express my inner most feeling though the music I
play and produce.”

“Damn it feels good to be a gangster.”
